Comparing QB Robert Griffin III to Cam Newton draws laughs from NFL talent evaluators

[mav1234]

Dude I specifically said 'offensive talent' read my post.

Your post was a direct response to mine about how Auburns offense wasn't average before Cam got there. Your response was that the players on the offense were average outside of Cam. True or not, that doesn't explain the above-average offense before Cam if offensive talent is all there is to it (and it's not like they switched divisions from the big 12 or something). When Cam left, they also lost a number of other starters on offense, so it's not as if he was the only departure this year.

If you were not trying to illustrate that Auburn had an average offense before Cam, what *were* you trying to illustrate?

[Dpantherman]

Did I or did I not say that Auburn's offense talent out side of Cam was AVERAGE.

That is what I said and that is what I meant. I wasn't illustrating anything I made a statement.

WHY OH WHY does this board care about this?

Okay, so you weren't at all commenting on the posts I made? My apologies. I assumed you were actually responding to my statement about Auburn's offense. You are right that the players were average... but average players didn't stop them from having a great season as an offense in 2009. Obviously Cam pushed them over the top, but I get annoyed when people act like he single handedly won 2 national championships (which you didn't, but the posters I was initially responding to did).

WHY OH WHY does this board care about this?

This board apparently cares about comparisons between Cam and RGIII, which includes college accomplishments etc. Some of us like to post stuff that others disagree with or at least like to argue despite agreeing with one another :P

No. Anthony else?? Bc it's kinda late

[Dpantherman]

fuging auto correct. I'm sleepy, goodnight

[mav1234]

Uh, the post were I used the term "extreme" that didn't come after your post. Anthony else?? Bc it's kinda late

It did come after my posts, though that has nothing to do with you quoting me and responding to things I was saying by saying Auburn had average players, then seemingly getting annoyed when I told you they still had a good offense. This all apparently originates from the fact that, despite agreeing with me, you wanted to state something in response to me without actually responding to it. I dunno, whatever, I misunderstood. goodnight :p

One thing that he seems to have similar to cam is a good work ethic but other than that I don’t see a comparison outside of race.

on a scale of 1-10, 1 being "not very" and 10 being "cam newton", how fake is RGIII's smile? that's what's important here

[Herbert The Love Bug]

RG111 is the next Vince Young. Because they are both black and not as good as Cam. suck it

[Miguel O'Hara]

RG III will do fine in the league, but Cam is literally, the mortal son of Zeus. Dude has god in his DNA. It's sucks for RGIII that he'll be compared to that. It's a battle he simply can't win.

This guy and the people who he talked to are obviously idiots.

I have been assured time after time on this forum that NFL talent evaluators are never ever ever ever ever ever ever influenced at all by the color of a prospect's skin.

EVER.

And if you think any such thing you are obviously a member of the Club of Idiots.

Racism is dead. Didn't you know that?

Yep Cam brought Auburn their first ever National Championship.

Wrong.

It's not like Auburn was a power house like LSU or Alabama before Cam came. And look how horribly they did without him this year.

Auburn has had 3 perfect (undefeated/untied) seasons (1993, 2004, and 2010) over the last twenty years. Alabama has had 2 perfect seasons. LSU has had none (the last time LSU finished a season with no losses or ties was 1958).

Auburn has won 169 games over the past twenty years. LSU has won 167. Alabama has won 145.

So what's that you were saying again?

I'm talking about as far as national titles.
